2240 HPA

[extradrygin2001]

So I guess I’m way behind the times on this because I always thought, “what doesn’t a company make a pistol like the 2240 in HPA that shoots at about 16ft/lbs” I mean come on the gun is light weight, accurate, good looking, simple and sturdy (so just like me other than being light weight) what an excellent all around air gun, plus.22 to boot (.30) would be better. Any I cast all worries to the wind and hot dam I found the exact kit I was looking for on EBay with a working pressure of 4500 psi???????? Seriously WTF this is placing the 2240 into Rimfire CB cap range almost. So I bought it, anyone else have experience with this stuff??

What's that rig putting out power/caliber wise?

 

[EdinGa]

Not a 2240, but this one is pushing 19 fpe and that's in a tuned down state for wadcutters.

Love that Prod carbine!

On closer inspection, I think I'm wrong. Disco tube?

Thanks! It's a 2240 tube cut down and had Froggy make a custom length drop block.

I meant the one in the middle picture. They all look great though.

Oh that one! That has a disco tube cut back to about 3" longer than a 2260. Kral shroud and Mrod baffles. Gets 20 shots in the 30 fpe range with a 14.5" barrel. It barks even with the shroud!

 

[EdinGa]

Thanks! It's a good looking rig.

It's a .22, shoots at just under 18 fpe.

Very nice, what pressure is your regulator set at? Barrel length?

I'm digging the shortness of my rig with the 10" barrel, but I'd like a little more oomph. The 14.5" will get me about 735 fps, I'd like to see 800. I think it'd possible with the 14.5" and an 1800 psi reg.

 

[SteveV]

Reg output is 1500 psi, barrel is 14.5 ". Using a p-rod hs with a 1800 Reg, power went down.

You will have to hit that valve HARD! to get to 800 fps.

EDIT: I already had the pa adjusted almost to the max, velocity just under the peak, and didn't want to make this little gem any harder to cock.

You may very well be able to get your 800 fps, but as you well know, it will take either a hot valve or a more powerful hammer spring.

Did you machine the new threads for the fill adapter?

No I bought that years ago off a GTA member I think, or maybe ebay. Wish I had a lathe to make parts.
